Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
EXCUSE ME I CANNOT THINK JUST NOW

They have IB here in the states, you know. I've never been in an IB program myself because my schools never offered them, but I've heard from friends that 7s are really, really hard to get. Highest possible grade and all that, and they've all said that IB work was pretty tough, so...
Also, this!
Anyway! Congrats, opal. You can do it. :3

Right, quick run-down.
IB diploma mark consists of a possible 6 * 7 points (six subjects, maximum grade of seven each) plus three bonus points (which are obtained from theory of knowledge [high school epistemology!] and the extended essay [choose topic, write 4000 word paper on it]). Each student takes three or four higher level subjects and three or two standard level subjects.
All three subjects they want sevens in I have at higher level (roughly equivalent to an A-level; 7 is an A* at A-level). So in other words it is really fucking hard. IB subjects tend to be way beyond any US classes, with the possible exception of some AP classes. Biology I can manage easily enough, since I get 90%+ on tests with one nights' revision; the other two will be harder. It is a good thing I have four months before the exams. (on the other hand, I tell myself I got a Cambridge offer with the bare minimum of revision necessary, so surely meeting that offer won't be a problem if I actually work).
Oh, and to whoever asked, the other twenty points I will have to get from my other three subjects (german, english, and geography) plus the three bonus points I mentioned earlier.
ps. if there is anyone good at organic chemistry here I reserve the right to bombard you with questions in the following months
